THE 2016 P3 IMPACT AWARD WINNER

Project Nurture — a collaboration between Coca-Cola, TechnoServe, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — trained 54,000 farmers in Africa to enhance their fruit product, helped them create farmer business groups, and connected them with local processors, wholesalers and regional exporters. This partnership enabled Coca-Cola to produce locally-sourced fruit juice in East Africa for the first time, reducing time and costs while more than doubling farmers’ income.
